Tony Kaye Directing Penitentiary

In a Variety article talking about new film production company Reliant Pictures, the trade says that the company’s first movie will be action-thriller Penitentiary, which MGM has already agreed to distribute.

Reliant is in discussions with Tony Kaye (American History X) to direct. The film, written by Carl Lund, is set to go into production this summer in New Mexico.
